Minor chess board update
Not much to report since I had my son for the weekend and have been reading the new Harry Potter book.
I "ripped" all the alternating color strips, selected the best ones and glued them up into the chess board.
In the picture you can see that some of the cherry has darkened from sitting near sunlight. That is normal and expected. In fact, you can even see circles where the chess men were sitting and the sunlight did not reach. Pretty sure that will sand out.
Anyway, the board is 16 inches on each side. It needs sanding and attaching to something thicker so it remains flat. Also needs a frame, maybe walnut. And I want to build a box, with drawers for the pieces. Lots to do, but this was the tricky part.

if you have the chess board as the top of the box and then drawers on the sides for the chess peices that would be real nice.
Don't you just love the way Cheryl is willing to point out additional work?
Well, that's what I was intending to do. She got the mental picture.
